1911, and a 1925-D, both AU. 1911, and a 1925-D, both AU.
Lot Title: 1911, and a 1925-D, both AU.
Description: Highly appealing fine matte texture defines the velvety appearance of the 1911, with a finish that is reminiscent of matte proof gold. The 1925-D is lustrous, well preserved and should grade UNC or very close to it. Two coin lot.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $475.00
High Estimate: $575.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.

Lot #AuctionCurrent Bid or Hammer PriceDescription
1007The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$360.00
1911 PCGS MS-62.
Young Bonnie Lass Collection. Fantastic definition will attract any collector who values detail over all other grade constituents. The surface presents nicely saturated coral-gold patina, with a...
1008The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$350.00
1911 PCGS MS-62.
Significant traces of wintergreen color make this a potentially more-desirable "toned gold" Indian quarter-eagle. Typically struck with a minimum of marks, but slightly lackluster overall in terms of...
1009The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$330.00
1911 NGC MS-62.
1911 often receives accolades for good strikes, and that is the case here. Moonbeam-gold overall, with a pair of tiny sharp contact marks on the Indian's cheekbone.
1010The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$600.00
1911 NGC MS-63.
Lovely frost on the portrait spills gently into the fields, providing very fine overall consistency of surface character. The quality for MS-63 is hard to beat, just as a hard-boiled egg is hard to...
1011The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$675.00
1911 PCGS MS-63+.
Young Bonnie Lass Collection. Beautiful khaki-gold patina endows thick, matte frost with every bit of eye-appeal possible for MS-63+. Add to this a meticulous strike and one has an obvious candidate...
930The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$390.00
1911 NGC MS-62.
Surfaces manifest fewer abrasions than expected for MS-62, with no distracting spots. However, there is a general lack of "excitement" that downplays the luster, accounting for the grade.
931The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$625.00
1911 NGC MS-63.
Delightful matte frost evenly layers over the entire portrait. While the general appearance seemingly faces up about a point higher in grade, use of a loupe reveals a thin scratch extending left from...
932The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$625.00
1911 NGC MS-63.
Brassy gold luster powers decent eye-appeal, and the reverse seems particularly sharp compared to some minor softness within obverse feathers. Trivial hairlines pass through the first couple of...
1063The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$525.00
1911 ANACS AU-58, and a 1928 PCGS AU-58.
Interestingly, the ANACS AU-58 grade looks even more conservative than the identical PCGS grade assigned the 1928, as the 1911 simply looks like a lower UNC coin. However, a few trivial hairlines may...
904The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$700.00
1911 NGC MS-63.
What's worse than finding a worm in an apple? Finding only half the worm, of course. But thinking that an Indian gold quarter-eagle might be a little undergraded could almost be as bad! Probably a...
825The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$900.00
1911 PCGS AU-58, 1913 PCGS MS-61, and 1928 PCGS MS-61.
Clustered around the range of AU-58 to MS-61, the appearance hardly varies from coin to coin for this small group. 1911 may show the mildest imaginable trace of rub, but overall, it matches up nearly...
826The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,100.00
1911 NGC MS-63, and a 1913 NGC MS-62.
1911 bears the appearance of slightly better patina than its companion, and the MS-63 grade reflects a hint of friction on the Indian's cheek, yet minimal contact otherwise. 1913 surprisingly...
827The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$550.00
1911 PCGS MS-62+.
Better than the average MS-62 without doubt, yet the cheek still shows faint discoloration common to surface friction. An unusually ideal candidate for the MS-62+ grade given by PCGS.
828The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$775.00
1911 PCGS MS-63.
Fun to own, easy to enjoy, glittering gold is the real McCoy. As hobby, investment, or purely for pleasure, this MS-63 is something to treasure. Give her a chance, give her a try, failure just isn't...
829The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$750.00
1911 PCGS MS-63.
Exquisite ultra-fine matte texture represents just about the best possible surface quality for an Indian in only MS-63. Premium quality with upgrade potential, showing no marks at all on the obverse,...
830The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,750.00
1911 PCGS MS-64.
Matte surface texture is wonderful and attractive, delicately hinting at what enthusiasts find so appealing on matte proof examples. A single carbon spot left of the ear is surrounded by halo of...
409The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$230.00
1911 PCGS AU-55.
Slight wear is clearly evident on both sides, yet still leaves plenty of luster intact.
410The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$4,900.00
1911 PCGS MS-65.
Lovely sharpness takes full advantage of superior matte luster, providing instant gratification and immediate justification of the MS-65 grade. Without a "D" mintmark, 1911 joins the rest of the...
1038The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$800.00
Two 1911 and one 1927 Indian quarter-eagle, as described.
One 1911 is near UNC, but has light scratches on the reverse, while the other grades AU with no problems. 1927 is a strangely attractive XF, rounding out this three coin lot.
1039The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$725.00
Two 1911 PCGS MS-61.
A small dig can be seen above the bonnet on one coin, while the other shows substantial friction in the reverse fields. Two coin lot.
1040The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$380.00
1911 PCGS MS-62.
A textbook case of "silent net grading" by a third-party grader, both sides display the choice quality of nice luster and a great strike. However, a single, short scratch on the Indian's cheek is...
1041The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$900.00
1911 PCGS MS-63.
Very good sharpness and superb, original surface quality make this an outstanding coin at the MS-63 grade level. Aiding the eye-appeal is the presence of some indigo iridescence on the recessed areas...
806The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$675.00
1911 and 1929, both PCGS MS-61.
PCGS graded both of these quarter-eagles MS-61, yet they are somewhat different in appearance. 1911 seems much superior to the grade as it benefits from dusky gold patina and sharp details. The 1929...
807The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$475.00
1911 NGC MS-62.
A wholesome, original quarter-eagle that features an attractive splash of apricot patina over many of the raised design elements. The resulting two-tone appearance is a welcome respite from the many...
808The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$800.00
1911 PCGS MS-63.
Exquisitely detailed, almost fully so, even on the trouble spot at the eagle's upper shoulder. A highly attractive coin that is dead-on perfect for the grade.
983The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$331.00
1911 PCGS MS-61.
The surfaces of this 1911 quarter-eagle are somewhat cleaner than expected of MS-61, since only a few of the normal planchet abrasions are present. Some dullness of luster is expected of the grade,...
984The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$875.00
1911 NGC MS-62 and 1913 PCGS MS-62.
The 1911 is graded MS-62 by NGC and displays glittering, better-than-average detail on a typical planchet. This coin is slightly nicer than the grade, while the 1913 is graded MS-62 by PCGS and is a...
985The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$450.00
1911 PCGS MS-62.
More satin luster than expected can be seen on the fields, adorning the nicely struck motifs. Just a couple of minor obverse planchet marks separate this coin from the "choice" category.
986The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$875.00
1911 PCGS MS-63.
All MS-63 Indian quarter-eagles should look this nice, since the surfaces are consistently free from the tiny blemishes that almost always affect sunken relief gold coins. Combined with a very good...
987The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$1,400.00
1911 NGC MS-64.
1911 is a common date in the quarter-eagle series -- at least without a "D" on the reverse. Precise detail elevates both sides above the "choice" level, and along with bright luster and gorgeous mint...
742The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$500.00
1911 and 1928. AU.
A pair of Indian quarter-eagles dated 1911 and 1928. Both are high-end AU coins in this two coin lot.
743The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$220.00
1911 NGC AU-58.
It can be difficult to ascertain whether an Indian quarter-eagle is a well struck slider, or a well marked BU coin, but in this case, definite friction concentrated on the Indian's cheekbone confirms...
744The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$550.00
1911 PCGS MS-62.
Generous helpings of sunny powder-gold patina drapes across each side, providing a subtle mellow appearance. This has the benefit of limiting the appearance of surface blemishes, and lets this coin...
745The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$360.00
1911 NGC MS-62.
Somewhat nicer overall than expected of MS-62, since the Indian's portrait displays charming frosty texture and sharp details. Were it not for a minor scrape on the far right side, this might qualify...
752The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$271.00
1911 NGC AU-58.
Surely no coin is closer to the cusp of an uncirculated grade than this. If there is any circulation rub at all, it may be just the faintest remnant of friction on the Indian's cheek.
1096The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$475.00
1911 and 1912 NGC.
A pair of basic uncirculated quarter eagles, both in NGC holders. 1911 grades MS-60, and 1912 grades a relatively clean MS-61 in this two coin lot.
1097The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$385.00
1911 NGC MS-62.
Reasonably attractive with straw-gold color and typical abrasions for the grade.
1098The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$875.00
1911 PCGS MS-63 "CAC."
Slightly above average due to the lack of mentionable abrasions on the obverse, though the reverse is typically abraded for MS-63. Strike quality is fairly mundane overall.
1099The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$955.00
1911 PCGS MS-63.
Well struck on the reverse, though the obverse possesses merely average definition. Outstanding luster appears on both sides.
877The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$900.00
1911 PCGS MS-63.
A fully choice incused gold coin that lacks most of the abrasions typical of the MS-63 level. Some wispy hairlines appear to account for the grade, which seems conservative at first blush.
928The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$400.00
1911 NGC MS-62.
Nicely sculpted details convey an outstanding strike for both sides. The lemon-gold surfaces are relatively undisturbed, except for a short, scraggly pinscratch from Indian's stoic chin.
929The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$725.00
1911 and 1915 Indian quarter-eagles, NGC MS-62.
Modestly abraded surfaces appear to define the grade for the 1911, while a couple of superficial scratches at the far left of the obverse limit the grade for the 1915. Two coin lot.
930The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$825.00
1911 NGC MS-63.
An excellent strike and very good surface color and quality seem indicative of a conservative grade. Sharpness of detail immediately suggest fresh dies, and this impression is reinforced by the mint...
931The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$2,800.00
1911, 1912 and 1915 Indian quarter-eagles, PCGS MS-63.
A trio of gold quarter-eagles, each graded MS-63 by PCGS. Dates include 1911, 1912, and 1915, with the 1912 clearly being the scarcest. Every one of these coins is at least slightly above average for...
932The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$1,050.00
1911 PCGS MS-63.
Pleasing, original butter-gold patina embraces the surfaces with plenty of mint luster and surprisingly few marks for just an MS-63 grade. Above average quality.
859The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$800.00
1911 and 1914 Indian quarter-eagle, NGC MS-61
A fairly indifferent strike has failed to bring up all the detail for the 1911, yet that is to be expected of this grade level. The accompanying better-date 1914 brandishes a healthier strike, but a...
860The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$850.00
1911 Indian quarter-eagle, PCGS MS-62
Distinct aqua-blue color mingles freely with the predominantly gold fields on both sides of this charming gold coin. As usual, the incuse strike failed to eradicate all tiny spicks and specks that...
861The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$900.00
1911 Indian quarter-eagle, NGC MS-63
This is an exceptionally high quality coin for the grade. NGC saw fit to assess this coin only as MS-63, but your cataloger feels that to be an injustice to this gorgeous coin. An exquisite strike...
969The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$300.00
1911 NGC MS-61.
Insufficiently struck to bring up all the details in the Indian’s headdress, but unabraded for the grade.
970The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$500.00
1911 NGC MS-62.
An originally patinated coin with velvety surface quality that is much above average for the grade. A handful of minor marks dimple the forward area of the Indian’s cheek, but there are no...
971The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$475.00
1911 NGC MS-62.
Generally copper colored gold except for the incused detail, which is highlighted in harvest gold. Extremely sharply struck and in an older NGC “no line” holder.
964The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$625.00
1911 MS-60+, 1913 MS-60, and 1914-D MS-60.
An opportunity to acquire three exquisite Mint State issues. The 1911 glows with a gold opulence, whereas the 1913 specimen emits a glistening yellow-gold. An exquisite orange hue embraces the...
965The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$1,350.00
1911 NGC MS-63.
Splendid visual appeal is endowed this coin due to limited surface marks. Matte orange-gold surfaces complement the famous incuse design, which is brazenly detailed.
313The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$270.00
1911 NGC MS-61.
This piece's surfaces glisten with an exquisite yellow-gold aspect. The surface marks observed are commensurate for this grade level, and the design motifs are acute.
314The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$875.00
1911 NGC MS-63.
Splendid visual appeal is offered by this specimen's mattelike reddish gold aspect. The details are prominent, and the overall condition is pleasing.
315The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$1,050.00
1911 PCGS MS-63.
Wonderful toning can be observed on both the obverse and reverse of this strongly struck $2.50 Indian. Toned gold is very popular and tough to find, so don't be afraid to be a little aggressive on...
388The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$370.00
1911 NGC MS-61.
This piece's surfaces glisten with a yellow-gold luster. The few scattered marks and hairlines are to be expected for this grade level.
389The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$475.00
1911 NGC MS-62.
Wow, what a bright $2.50 Indian. Its color is that of freshly pressed honey. There are no real problems, and it is fully struck. This is a coin that deserve a good look.
390The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$675.00
1911 NGC MS-62.
The frosty, lustrous surfaces of this example amplify its glistening yellow-gold aspect. A scant number of marks are noticed on this sharply struck piece housed in an older NGC holder.
1028The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$370.00
1911 NGC MS-61.
Alluring rose toning copiously adorns this date's velvet like surfaces. A couple contact ticks are noticed on the Indian's cheekbone, when using a glass, on this needle sharp specimen.
1029The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$270.00
1911 NGC MS-61.
A boldly struck specimen, with a few scant ticks, and a lovely yellow-gold appearance over surfaces that are both matte like and lustrous.
1030The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$0.00
1911 PCGS MS-62.
This issue's intense yellow hue is accented by a subdued orange iridescence that covers its velvetlike surfaces. A few scattered marks are widely dispersed on this boldly struck specimen.
